The British and Irish Lions outscored the ACT Brumbies five tries to four in Canberra in their fourth straight victory on Australian soil. In an at times excellent and at other times troubling performance, the tourists made their now customary slow start, conceding early to Brumbies back-row Tuaina Taii Tualima.

The British & Irish Lions were made to work, but eased to a 36-24 win over a depleted ACT Brumbies team in Canberra on Wednesday in a victory soured by another backline injury.

Tommy Freeman, Henry Pollock and Alex Mitchell all got more minutes as the British & Irish Lions made it four wins from four on their tour of Australia.
